It's at least refreshing to see Bluesky PBC try to prevent it by setting up guardrails themselves, like allowing people to host their data somewhere else, which seems to work today already.
Here's to hoping the federation stuff shapes up nicely too.

- diggan 2y agoThat's awesome to hear! You happen to know about something similar but outside of the US? Any continent is fine, even Canada or Mexico would be OK.
- verdverm 2y agoNo, this is totally grassroots by the people, though it is in the same city Bluesky is located. This kind of thing is just getting started, it is actually a guy from Vancouver that is taking the lead on this one. I'd recommend - getting on the ATProto dev Discord: https://discord.gg/VweB8gn5 https://discord.gg/VweB8gn5 - getting involved with: https://github.com/lexicon-community/lexicon https://github.com/lexicon-community/lexicon - using the #ATProtoDev hashtag There is a lot of overlap in the people and the developer community is starting to snowball
- diggan 2y agoThanks, I've already developed a bunch of tools, services and feeds for Bluesky, so I'm well aware of the general ecosystem, was just looking for physical events to attend to outside of the US. Thanks though, and I'm sure others will find your brief overview helpful :)
